Ron Humphrey replied to Ron Humphrey's discussion 'insane comment following tornadoes in Oklahoma'"I must be living in a cocoon. I have never heard of the "truthers". Do these nuts actually believe that the government has a weather weapon? Fruitcakes!"

Reg The Fronkey Farmer replied to Ron Humphrey's discussion 'insane comment following tornadoes in Oklahoma'"??? Your God has no plan for his children? At least you are not denying climate change. So I suppose when Mt. Etna erupted centuries ago it was also the fault of those dumb humans "born of greed". I had not realised such weather…"
Suzanne Olson-Hyde replied to G's discussion 'Is your trust in science based on faith or based on science?'"@Bob - It is not because of the charlatans and liars that I am an Atheist, it is because I could not follow or revere or think wonderful the god of your bible.

Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
